   We know that every bike ride taken is a positive - it contributes to safety-in-numbers, it hopefully gets counted somehow to justify more facilities, it is cleaner and healthier than alternatives, it helps normalize the behavior, etc etc.

   But here's a theory - i think every bike ride can bring happiness to other riders. Validates us, lets us know that we're not alone, gives us hope that all the fights are leading us to a marginally-better future.

   So go take a ride, because it makes me happy.

     They were smiling, so let's assume that it was good.

     Great to see so so many kid-hauling cargobikes out this morn who weren't even on our bike bus. The North Cambridge family biking scene is looking very mainstreamish these days.

     Older couple standing on a street corner, looks like they were waiting for us, filming our bike bus as we rode by. This is either very good or very bad.
